The entire
prayer:
Let us pray. Oh God, you are our rock of
safety. Protect us in an unsafe world. Guard us from those who smile, but plan
evil in their hearts. Use our Senators. Bring peace and unity to our world. May
they permit Godliness to make them as bold as lions. Give them a clearer vision
of Your desires for our nation. Remind them that they borrow their heartbeats
from you each day. Provide them with such humility, hope, and courage that they
will do Your will. Lord, grant that this impeachment trial will make our nation
stronger, wiser, and better. We pray in Your strong name, Amen
